Construction is so close but so so far away at the same time. Tech pace.. It ain't great. Piccadilly's power is inclining.

I asked for some 100 gold loans gifts from other civs to help me get to catapults. I predict at most 1 will accept.

One player did accept! And it was not in vain:



In 4 turns I can start building catapults.

Got a war dec PM from Piccadilly. We got pretty close to having some fun in this game, but I think his attack will be just in time to wipe me out.

Facing 16 cats and 24 bulk. I think we needed another 5 turns or so to be safe. Let's see if we can save the capital at least.

A lot of catapults withdrew. We only managed to kill 3 enemies in defense of Raven before Piccadilly captured it. Cornflakes razed (the new) Soulcatcher to the south.

I got a GG but I misclicked and settled it instead of giving XP to units. I would ask for a reload if this wasn't a 23 player game with a lot of delays already. Let's roll with the punches.

Piccadilly dropped 4 cats + 3 axes + 1 WE on the first tiny island. This would normally be good, but even with the split army we can't kill the main stack unfortunately.

At least in Tom-Tom we killed 5 HA's in defense:



We killed another one in counterattack and can kill 3 more next turn, or raze the city if he retreats.

He retreated from Tom-Tom and I couldn't raze it because you can't raze your own cities when taking them back.
I took it and managed to defend it. Piccadilly sent his injured HA's to join up with the main stack.

The other side stack:



He attacked the city and failed to take it. I attacked out this turn to kill two of his injured units. The side stack is essentially wiped out now, but he does still have the 4 galleys.



Next is the main stack at the capital. He has a lot of catapults so he can probably get through. Our hope is that his units are too injured to win enough battles.

Image host is broken. We only killed 5 Piccadilly attackers in defense of Mercy. He can now load up troops from there to take the island city as well.
Cornflakes has a stack at the border. He might be able to steal all of my ex-land from Piccadilly if he goes all out.

CF not going all out, but will be interesting to see how much he can hurt Piccadilly.
